A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Regions, as this comprehensive Geography text is generally known, combines a broad overview of the discipline of Geography with a penetrating assessment of developments in our fast–changing world. Geography links the study of human societies and their natural–environmental settings through a revealing, spatial approach, aided in this book by a unique series of thematic maps at various levels of scale. Thus the focus shifts seamlessly from the global to the regional to the local, yielding insights into the forces that shape the human mosiac of our planet.
From glaciation to globalization, desertification to devolution, Mexico to Madagascar, Regions puts processes and places in spatial context. Inside this cover lies an information highway to geographic literacy, a key to understanding the global map.
